Steroid Joint Injections

Steroids work by decreasing inflammation and reducing the activity of the immune system. Steroids are used to treat a variety of inflammatory diseases and conditions.

If you have a painful joint, for example from injury orarthritis, our Summit Urgent Care providers may offer you a joint injection of a steroid medicine. Steroids reduce inflammation and so can help reduce pain and swelling in your joint and allow it to move more easily.

Some short-acting steroids act quickly and may work for at least a week. Other, long-acting steroids may take about a week to start working, but their effects last for a few months. Sometimes a mixture of these may be used. Our healthcare providers will discuss which is the best option in your circumstances.

If you have a painful joint bothering you, come visit us at Summit Urgent Care to find relief. We offer in-house prescription meds and treat many illnesses and injuries. Just walk in our clinic 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

I was so grateful they were open on Friday after Thanksgiving! The receptionist was pleasant, and the nurse and Dr. were professional, warm and caring. They saw me quickly - I filled out my paperwork and was called as soon as that was done. The best part was they filled my needed prescriptions while I was there, still sitting in the exam room. That was amazing and SO helpful! I was able to go home and start my course of treatment immediately without going to another pharmacy to wait. Thank you so much -- we will definitely be back when needed.

This Urgent Care is wonderful. We went again yesterday and had a great experience. My husband hates doctors and going to a clinic but was extremely satisfied with this facility and doctor....and entire staff!!! Will always go to this Urgent Care facility from now on!!!

Can’t say enough good things about this place. They are always fast, caring and efficient, and the care my children and I have received has been excellent. Dr F is very thorough and attentive, and takes time to understand your issues and determine the best treatment. Highly recommend!

Very friendly staff and willing to accommodate; I've never had to wait long to be seen. Always good follow-up to check on recovery and happy to take calls if you have questions. Environment is clean and welcoming, with serene ambiance and comfortable climate. I drive past 3 other urgent cares to receive the high quality of care at Summit. I've been extremely pleased with my experiences there.

Went in on Sunday morning, the moment they opened and it was a pleasure! Forgot my card and had to come back, and they were gracious about it. They also have medications/prescriptions there, so chances are good it’s a 1-Stop-Shop! Recommend this place for sure

Very clean environment, friendly staff. The doctor explained everything really well and was very nice, professional and competent. Very quick getting in and out but doctor was not rushed at all -- even though I went right before they closed. They have some prescriptions available in-office which is very convenient. Great office hours.

I was in a lot of pain when I arrived at Summit Urgent Care. They were able to get me in quick. They listened to my concerns thoroughly. I was in and out in no time with what I needed to counteract what my diagnosis was. I wasn’t seeking pain meds and none were prescribed. I’m grateful there are places that still work on solving ailments instead of putting a “band aid” on it. Very professional and kind. Highly recommended.

Very clean. Super fast service, yet thorough when it came to making a diagnosis. Very nice & compassionate staff. And they called to follow up & check on my daughter to see if her condition was improving. Great experience here!

I arrived at 8:15, filled out very reasonable paper work, moved to the examining room by 8:30, saw the doctor and paid my bill. Out by 9:15! Personnell was very accommodating and the doctor seemed knowledgeable and concerned. Considering how I felt, it was a very pleasant experience.

Saw me almost immediately; the attending Doctor and Nurses were very friendly and professional and I was able to get in and get out within 30-45 minutes without ever being there before (meaning filling out the minimal paperwork beforehand). The Doctor that saw me was quick to listen and diagnose and write a prescription quickly and accurately and was understanding to my limited funds and had generic prescriptions that were affordable. I will definitely be choosing to come here again if I need to. Very clean space, conveniently located across the street from a Walgreens as well.

Went in mid-morning Wednesday with what I suspected was the flu and was quickly seen, diagnosed, treated and only my way in 30 minutes! Professional, friendly staff and a convenient location. Will be back when needed!

Visit exceeded all expectations. Staff were attentive and polite. Physician was very competent and demonstrated excellent "bedside manner". I will definitely return here next time I need similar services.

It is never fun to be sick, but it was so refreshing to be seen by such a pleasant team of professionals from start to finish. The receptionist, R.N. and Physician were all very friendly and even apologized for the wait (even though it wasn't that long!). I will definitely choose this location again and will recommend it to others in need! Thank you for a great experience!

I was met by a smiling receptionist, my wait time was about 10 minutes, the nurse was friendly and seemed concerned, and the doctor took time to listen to me. I'd recommend this facility to anyone. Clean and bright.

I was seen quickly on a weekend, and started feeling better within hours of my departure from the clinic. (Only delay was waiting for pharmacy to open on a Sunday morning.) This experience came after 2 other doctors who treated me in the preceding days either misdiagnoses- or mistreated- my chest congestion issues. Will visit here again.

We are new to the area and this facility was close to our house and highly rated.In fast. Great staff. Received the best ever explanation of my daughter's asthma and how the respiratory system works. Highly recommend.

Excellent service. Great care. Dr. Recasens and the staff was all professional. I had a less than 10 minute wait and they followed up with me by phone days later. I was also a cash customer and the rate was very reasonable.

I had been to this facility before under a different name. I can say it is vastly improved. I was treated very well and had the kind of treatment that calmed me and help me deal with my illness. They were warm and professional at the same time. I will be using their services for all of my relevant healthcare needs from now on.

Dr. Goss (I think I have her name right) is great. I came in with bronchitis after a cold, and I had been sick for almost a week. Most urgent care doctors are just trying to make sure you'll survive until you can see a GP, and send you on your way. She really took the time to try to narrow down the source of my many respiratory symptoms and find what would actually cure my illness, while carefully considering my medical history, rather than just giving me something to get me through a few more days.The staff was very efficient. I was fortunate that they weren't busy. I highly recommend Summit.

Dr. Moon was very attentive to my need. He showed patience and concern about my condition. The nurses were very kind and efficient, and so was the entire staff. if I have any more urgencies in the future, they earned my trust.

I was in a lot of pain but was prepared to wait as long as needed to see a physician. I was only there for a short period of time before I was called in to see the doctor. She was both nice and sensitive to my needs. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone needing urgent care.

My trip to urgent care was better than I expected. The staff was attentive and courteous from the moment I walked in the door until the moment I left. My wait time was less than the time I spend at my Dr office. The Dr and medical staff listened to my needs, made an evaluation and gave me the help that I needed. I am very grateful that I was able to find this medical staff at a time that I needed help.
